WAS HONDATAFIED IN
I've been trying to order since yesterday. I went through the biz site, I've yet to receive any comments if it went through or not. I've been to Staples and Best Buy and they both sold out on Sunday. If anyone gets more then they need I would be interested in taking one off your hands.

Staples and Best Buy sold out of what remaining "in store" inventory they had on Saturday and Sunday.
All the units they have/had in their warehouses are being/have been sent back to HP.... probably so HP can blow them out themselves.... hence the speculation that HP will have more on Wed. for sale. Same goes for other retailers sending back inventory to HP, I believe.
It's understandable since HP had to credit the retailers for the loss. Cost on 16GB TouchPad and 32GB TouchPad for a certain retailer was dropped to $75 and $100, respectively.
Since HP's going to be selling them now, they don't have to take that extra loss.

Hopefully that means they will still be $100 and $150 respectively and not raise the price higher.

If you have an Android Phone, this is an awesome app to have for when all your touchpads start to ship
https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result
I use it all the time and it is helpful when I have multiple inbound packages from different carries like i do now.

Don't think my Amazon or HPSB will go through.. Is my assumption correct that the only remaining tablets will be used by HP to fulfill orders taken last weekend?

We would first like to thank you for your purchase of the HP TouchPad over the weekend. As I am sure you saw, the item sold out almost immediately.This will be the first of a series of email notifications and status updates in order for you receive the latest and most up to date status on the order without having to phone or email our systems.
As of 5pm EST on 8/23, we anticipate shipping these towards the end of this week.
We will certainly keep you updated as we know exact dates by email, Facebook, and Twitter.
We have freight tracking # from HP with enough orders so that everyone will receive their complete order.
For those that ordered 10, 50, or 100, they will be PARTIALLY filled this week, and the balance FILLED most likely next week.It is the only fair thing to do, as we are assuring that everyone will get their FULL order without any canceling.
Currently the order process will be the following:
-Over the next day or two, we will start the "Invoicing" stage. This is when our systems take your order status from "Active/Open" to the packing stage.
-Following the Invoicing, a shipping label will be created, and emailed to you.
*Please note, when you receive this email notice, it is GREAT NEWS, as it means it is almost out the door.
Also, the tracking # will NOT scan right away, so please do not panic or get concerned.
We have to start the order flow now, as the multiple shipping stations can only print invoices/receipts/tracking decals but so fast.
Based on the timing, it is the best scenario for you to get your item(s) fastest.
Thank you for your patience as we have been literally bombarded with calls, emails, and website hits.
We are doing our very best to process each call and email, and apologize for any delay.
In order for us to focus on order processing, we would kindly request you send emails if there are any urgent request, as we can handle them much faster.
If you do need to cancel for any reason, we can certainly honor this request. Please reply with the following:
Order #
Payment ID
user nickname
email address
Name
*If you have made a request to cancel already, you should see that process and refund in the next 12 hours or so.
Thank you once again,
**There will be future emails with updates. You may also want to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to see current statuses.
Finally, we completely understand your situation in wanting this product as timely as possible. We certainly hope that once we deliver your TouchPad, you will take consider the fact we followed through on the order completely, as opposed to other retailers canceling orders with simple apologies.
You deserve the item you ordered, at the incredible price paid, and we intend to deliver for you. All of our sites, and marketplaces received over 10,000 orders in total, and it has simply been overwhelming.
Thank you once again for your continued patience, and please reply to this email only if you need to cancel.

I dont want 2 units, but I'm getting impatient....
#355
Creepy guy in the mirror.
Apparently some canadian supply chain distributers are showing inventory but are not acknowledging a price change. They show an inventory of hundreds of units on hold at the old price. I think the buggers are holding out expecting a price increase.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Since B&N cancelled my orders, and my HP SMB order is in limbo, I caved and snagged a 16gb one for $150 off of craigslist...
And even though I paid more than what I "could have" gotten it for, it is honestly the best $150 I've spent... this year.
But then again I've only been playing with it for an hour or so, ask me again after the fire sale that's supposed to happen tomorrow and the rest of you guys get them for $99.

FYI for anyone waiting for an HP shipment.
I just spoke with Customer Service and they state my order is ready to go and will be shipped Tomorrow (Wednesday) when they receive a re-stock of touchpads.
So it looks to be true about HP getting more in tomorrow.
